Now, Congress is seeking to undo the progress we've made, render millions uninsured and make health insurance incaccessable to many.</p><p><p>The new proposal is supposedly to keep coverage for pre-existing conditions by paying the insurance industry a whopping $8,000,000,000. In the past, such subsidies have not worked to the advantage of citizens. What I predict is that the insurance companies will accept the hand-out, continue to raise premiums, and then declare the system a failure when the poor opt out. I see this as nothing more than a money-grab by the insurance companies, who continue to buy our Congressmen.</p>

Unfortunately, in this day and age, it takes litigation and the threat of paying out millions in damages to make a manufacturer take notice that its products are causing injury. Although the media cringes at large verdicts, the truth of the matter is that these lawuits ultimately save lives (and limbs). </p><p><p>If you have been injured by a product, don't assume that it's your fault!

The Constitution specifically says t “[The President] shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint…Judges of the Supreme Court.”</p><p><p>In my view, the Senate's refusal to hold a hearing to even discuss the President's nomination is a failure to "advise" and "consent", and thus, it does constitute an unconstitutional failure to act.</p><p>

They record your statement, and then use it against you to deny you compensation.</p>
